Across numerous reviews, Tzatzi qui in Old Montreal is described as a warm, cozy Greek spot with a welcoming vibe that suits both casual dinners and celebrations. The food is often praised for being fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned, with favourites like dips and tzatziki, calamari, gyros, souvlaki, and moussaka highlighted. Service is consistently lauded for attentiveness and warmth, with bartenders and servers noted for good recommendations and friendly, seamless handling of groups. The atmosphere ranges from intimate and romantic to lively and social, with charming decor, soft lighting, and a patio that many guests enjoy. On some visits the food has fallen short for a few diners, with meat that was overcooked or dry, or dishes that did not meet expectations, and on busy nights reservations were recommended. Prices are generally fair for the quality and portions, though a handful of reviewers considered the value higher end for the area. Overall, the reviews present Tzatzi qui as a standout Greek option in the area with a strong emphasis on friendly service, a warm ambiance, and delicious, shareable plates that make many guests eager to return.
This was the best restaurant that we went to during our time in Montréal. I got the mixed gyro plate & Margathéna cocktail. The food was great, good portion size & very flavourful. Drink was made well & was delicious with the perfect amount of spice. Also our server Jimmy was very friendly.
What an amazing Greek restaurant in old Montreal. Jimmy the bartender & Amira the manager were amazing with their service & hospitality! We got a free glass of wine & a complimentary drink from Amira before we go back home, they made us feel special coming from Toronto!

Very cozy restaurant! Went there for a family outing & we loved the intimate vibes. Our food & drinks were delish & the waitress made sure we were well taken care of. A must try if you're in the area!
We had an exceptional time at Tzatzi-qui sitting at the bar for dinner. Jimmy, the bartender, was so hospitable, chatting with us while mixing drinks & clearing tables without ever feeling rushed. Jade also did a great job taking care of our meal & making sure we had everything we needed. The food/atomosphere were so cozy & exactly what we needed for a chilly night.
Highly recommend!
Had a great time at Tzatzi-qui. The vibe is super chill, the staff are friendly, & the Greek comfort food really hits the spot. Portions are generous (the gyros & chicken pita are legit), & it's an easy go-to if you're in the Old Port & want something tasty without going full fine dining. Would definitely go back with friends for drinks & snacks that turn into a full meal.
Ate here last & it was fantastic. Atmosphere is cozy bordering on a bit cramped. It was a Saturday so they were super busy & our server Amira was amazing! She was running the whole place, but still took great care of us. We had the app sampler & a skewer plate. Portions were huge, drinks were great, food was fast & delicious.
Great little spot to grab a bite. The dips are 10/10, great saganaki as well. I hear the Moussaka is the most sought after item on their menu; it was sold out by the time we got to the restaurant (a good sign). The lamb dish was underwhelming, the potatoes that came with it were excellent though! We ordered 2 drinks: one limoncello spritz (wouldn't recommend) & the Demetris (a mocktail; I likely misspelled the name, however it was excellent!!). We asked to add more prosecco to the limoncello spritz & the staff was very kind to accommodate the request. Overall I'd return here for their happy hour & their dips + saganaki, & maybe try the Moussaka if they have it. Good little find away from the hustle & bustle of the Old Port, but still in it.
We visited late afternoon for a late lunch / early dinner. Very welcoming, we sat outside as the weather was lovely. Extensive menu to choose from for both food & drinks. A great 2 for 1 offer on beer after 4pm for a period of time. Friendly , efficient service, delicious food! Very generous portions. We'd definitely return if we visit Montreal again.
EDIT: went a second time & had a not so nice situation because they needed a reservation while the restaurant was not full. Then it took them forever to serve.
A hidden gem in the Old Port! Totally recommended if you want something fresh & healthy.
Food is delicious, comes in perfect portions, & is so fresh.
The service is also beyond average: our waitress was always attentive, quick, & kind.
Drinks, both mocktails & cocktails are really good.
Adorable restaurant with cute ambiance. Jimmy made the best drinks we've ever had with homemade syrups & fresh ingredients. The dips were so delicious we plan to go back & buy more to take back home with us. A great spot for both dinner & drinks.

The food was amazing. Bravo. To start, our drinks: they had Greek Fix beer, so my husband was sold. A great selection on summer cocktails. Next, our app: Calamari. A+ quality truly. 1 app is enough for 2 but not more... This is not Marvens or Marathons. This is a boutique restaurant. Our main plates... We had a gyro platter & a souvlaki pita all dressed. Generous portions. Great quality meat... Not too fatty, not too salty. A definite repeat next time we are in mtl!!!
Food was amazing. Service was quick kind & polite. Drinks were great. Vibes were fun!! 10/10 would come back. Treated like guests & loved everyone we interacted with!
If you want fresh amazing food & good music. Come here!
Great food & great service! Came here for my bachelorette dinner & we had such a fun time! Atmosphere was perfect for what we were after, great music, great food, great drinks & the servers were so lovely! Give Florence a raise!
Tzatzi-qui totally blew us away. The food was super fresh & packed with flavor, & the vibes were just right-chill but still lively.
Big shoutout to the bartender who made some of the best drinks we've had in a while-super friendly & knew their stuff. & the manager was great too, checking in to make sure everything was on point. You can tell they really care about their guests.
